Not only that, ones that do it in the multiplayer which becomes obsolete in a year! Same with FIFA - users spend insane money only to buy the same game the following year and go back to square one. I remember that guy that spent $2000 on an empty tiered battle pass in Black Ops 4🤣 At least on the likes of CSGO you can sell your skins to other dimwits and make money. With COD, you're spending crazy money on coloured pixels and that's it. Sad that this is the culture we live in now and it's just crazy how much publishers can make from it which kills off incentives in making a good game.

Judgement week for Anthem - we may never see the 2.0 revival after all Anthem's days may be numbered as EA will reportedly decide on its fate this week | PC Gamer WWW.PCGAMER.COM A report says EA executives will examine the game's status and decided whether to commit to the update, or pull the plug.

I am pretty speechless really!

If they did something like this then it would be a great ongoing MP alternative that would likely sit next to Warzone and they could easily apply microtransactions through this model as they already do with Mobile and Online. I just don't know why they keep making a game from scratch every year especially when they never get better and are always riddled with balancing issues. I tried COD Online a few years ago and it was great because you could play with MW2's weapons on Black Ops 1 maps for instance. I even got an AC-130 on Nuketown in one match! There were so many weapons in the game and you never knew what map would pop up - you could play on a WAW map one minute, COD 4 the next and then a MW3 one. If Activision commissioned a game called 'The Call of Duty' or something and made available 50 maps and 500 weapons from all the big games and just let people get on with it, it would be a huge success and players would remain engaged rather than departing or having to play the old games as a standalone and then not spending money. Something like this could be good for 3+ years and as you said above, it could run like Siege and Overwatch. Many players are flocking third party clients on PC like IW4X for COD4 and MW2 along with Plutonium MW3 and BO2 which look great fun. Not only are those heavily supported by the creators but they also have a solid anti-cheat and content that even improves the old games such as custom maps.

I loved Treyarch up to Black Ops 2 - BO3 was decent but the lack of a campaign in 4 along with pathetic post-launch Support really annoyed me. The relationship they have with the community is also in a really bad state now and it will never likely recover. They should've never reformed Sledgehammer - instead merged IW and Treyarch and then built a single game that could be supported for 3 years rather than a new one every year. That boat has sailed now though and a good time to have done that would have been after WW2 - MW2019 could've been the foundation. Cold War was a step backwards in a few regards such as the animations and engine so it's a bit of a mess really. This year we'll probably get Advanced Warfare 2 and SHG will be taking over Warzone which will lead to another dead MP after xmas and calamitous Warzone changeover. Consoles really needed a universal game like COD Mobile or COD Online. Huge missed opportunity.

COD Online which was released in China (only) years ago would have been much better than all these futuristic titles. I still can't fathom why we didn't get this. For all Activision's wealth, literally all their business ideas are either copies or are too late in the day. They probably should have canned Sledgehammer and even Treyarch and just got IW to build a single title and expanded that along with Warzone - now we have a convoluted mess between developers and shitty half-arsed annual releases. They really don't need to make a new game every year - they could easily save costs and invest that elsewhere to make even more money. They will probably come to this conclusion late in the day as usual. MW2019 could have been decent framework for years if it had been supported properly. Cold War was not needed whatsoever.

This is an old but very fascinating video comparing the development style and ethos of Bungie working on the Halo games compared to the less experienced and more modern 343's approach. Well worth a watch and you can really see how the quality translates into the games just by how development is approached and the games are made

This has been on the cards for a long time sadly. By having a new COD every year, it's saturated the traditional deathmatch-type games and these just don't make the money Activision desire even with massive unit sales. The series has failed pathetically as an eSport but Warzone is raking in the money - literally well over $1bn a quarter on just cosmetic shite alone. Insane money really. COD mobile can also generate way more than its console version counterparts even being FREE which just shows what the gaming landscape has become from a business standpoint. Why bother selling 25m copies of a game when you can sell coloured guns and make even more money without spending a penny in the process? For me, COD has been dead since Black Ops 2 anyway so it's no big loss. I don't like the brand anymore and its filled with cancerous business practices and dickhead community members. It's barely recognisable to what it used to be. Things have actually gotten worse since supply drops which is crazy to think about. Warzone is laden with cheaters - some even notable streamers/content creators and Activision hasn't bothered about eradicating that problem until this week and even then it was a lame effort. Post launch support for these games now is shockingly bad especially with no season passes. Even zombies players have been well and truly fucked over. Even Treyarch don't give a fuck about the community now. Call of Duty is well and truly dead in its traditional sense. They'll milk the battle royale until 2025 and then I'm sure that will become unbearably saturated and something else will come to fruition. What's killed MP for me is SBMM along with fabricated factors impacting gameplay - it doesn't feel like a fair and genuine game. Old COD's had connection-based matchmaking and then lobby balancing and everything felt good. Now you can't trust anything and the sweaty mechanics just further kill the fun. There's just so many elements that have killed it for me and many veterans of the franchise. DICE have a big opportunity with Battlefield 6 so they'd better not fuck it up.

Nice Phil! I'll try and have a look at that later. Love seeing modders do better jobs than real developers😅

This is so British

As it stands, Man City have done a 20 point swing on Tottenham in just 10 games. Spurs were 6 points clear of City and now they are 14 behind if the Chelsea result remains as it is. 70mins gone and Spurs have had two shots compared to Chelsea's 13 with just one on target. Didn't realise Jose parked the bus even when his team was losing..

Even Digital Foundry are covering it😂

Incredibly easy to get running and what a fine experience. Such a tragedy that this never made it to the market because of petty financial squabbles. If you press R1 on the controller, you can also have the classic visuals which is a nice touch. Not sure what happened with the Alec Trevelyan character model (maybe a placeholder) but everything else looks pretty spot on and nicely crafted.

It’s amazing what modders can do

Considering there were only 4 games, it was a bloody entertaining night of football in the end. Arsenal were cruising and could've been 3-0 up but one mistake deep into first half injury time changed the game. Leno's red card was funny as he slapped the ball out for a thrown in whilst 30 yards off his line. Southampton will have no complaints with the red as it was a shocking challenge on top of them already missing 9 players and having only won 1 in 8 prior. WBA and Big Sam look like they are down and just when Newcastle think they've turned a corner they go and lose at home to Palace. Southampton losing 9-0 two years in a row is hilarious though!

Wish we got Bad Company 3 instead of 5 or Hardline! Battlefield 4 is my personal favourite however that was only after 18 months of post-launch bug fixing and support - the game was a mess at launch and it took a lot of work to get right. The end result with the game fixed, all the maps and the wealth of weapons was a truly amazing experience. Had it been that good on release, it may have shit Call of Duty up for the rest of the decade. Battlefield 5 was a mistake.

I think the one blessing with this being a remaster more than a remake is that BioWare can't screw it up spectacularly. There can't be many OG members of the studio still there, so the current batch working from the ground up on such a classic series would ring alarm bells.
